The 1901 census is interesting.

Norma age 16 has a name correction to show possibly that she is Florrie/Florence.

The correction was done way back in Jan 2006 but someone who says the family part of their family tree.

hi glitter baby., can you do me a favour,. ive been looking for the powis family 1891, i was curious as to why i couldnt see them using any spelling, so i follwed what posted and went to the 1891 and found 9 underwood st -hoxton new town shoreditch, district 8 ,page 37 on ancestry but in ancestry it has a thomas higginson and family there.its obvious ancestry must have something wrong as you have the right family, could you go and look and see if you can work out whats going on, have i missed something?
